About the Ramsay Group
Ramsay Health Care was established in 1964 and has grown to
become a global hospital group operating over 100 hospitals and day
surgery facilities across Australia, the United Kingdom and
Indonesia. Ramsay Health Care is well-respected in the health care
industry for operating quality private hospitals and for its
excellent record in hospital management and patient care. These
features help to attract leading health care practitioners to work
in our facilities.
Ramsay Health Care is Australia’s largest private hospital
operator and a well-recognised brand in the industry. The Company
leads the way in developing the role of private health care in
Australia’s balanced health care system. It is also recognised as a
leader in teaching and research with an emphasis in its hospitals
on both undergraduate and postgraduate training of the future
medical and nursing workforce.
In 2007, Ramsay Health Care realised its offshore expansion
plans acquiring Capio UK, the fourth largest operator of private
hospitals in the UK. This acquisition will provide a solid platform
for growth outside Australia.
Ramsay Health Care facilities cater for a broad range of health
care needs from day surgery procedures to highly complex surgery,
as well as psychiatric care and rehabilitation. With over 8000
beds, the Company employs almost 25,000 staff across three
countries.
Ramsay Health Care is extremely proud of the high quality of our
staff, our excellent relationships with doctors, our commitment to
improvement in all areas and our vision for the future. “The Ramsay
Way” culture which recognizes that people – our staff and doctors –
are our most important asset, has been key to the Company’s ongoing
success.
